Method of making perfumed goods

ABSTRACT

The present invention relates to methods of designing and making perfumed products and perfume raw materials for use in products and perfume raw materials selected by such methods and the use of same.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to methods of designing and making perfumed products and perfume raw materials for use in products and perfume raw materials selected by such methods and the use of same.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Perfumed products are typically designed and/or formulated using empirical methods or basic modeling methodologies. Such efforts are time consuming, expensive and, in the case of empirical methodologies, generally do not result in optimum designs/formulations as not all components and parameters can be considered. Furthermore, aspects of such methods may be limited to existing components. Thus, there is a need for an effective and efficient methodology that obviates the short comings of such methods. The modeling systems described herein meet the aforementioned need as they can be used to determine the malodour reduction capability of perfume raw materials that can be used to produce new and superior perfumed products. In addition, such modeling systems are faster and more efficient.

EXAMPLES

The MORV models require the execution of the winMolconn program, version 1.1.2.1 (Hall Associates Consulting, http://www.molconn.com/index.html). The following is a description of how to execute the program and generate the required descriptors.

Computing Molecular Structure Descriptors using winMolconn:

-   -   1) Assemble the molecular structure for one or more perfume         ingredients in the form of a MACCS Structure-Data File, also         called an SDF file, or as a SMILES file     -   2) Using version 1.1.2.1 of the winMolconn program, running on         an appropriate computer, compute the full complement of         molecular descriptors that are available from the program, using         the SDF or SMILES file described above as input.         -   a. The output of winMolconn is in the form of an ASCII text             file, typically space delimited, containing the structure             identifiers in the first column and respective molecular             descriptors in the remaining columns for each structure in             the input file.     -   3) Parse the text file into columns using Excel® or some other         appropriate technique. Each column contains a single descriptor         value for each of the molecular structures in the input. The         molecular descriptor labels are found on the first row of the         resulting table.     -   4) Find and extract the descriptor columns, identified by the         molecular descriptor label, corresponding to the inputs required         for each model.         -   a. Note that the winMolconn molecular descriptor labels are             case-sensitive.

Each MORV model may be in the form of a simple multi-variate algebraic equation.

-   -   1) Computing the MORV value of perfume raw materials for         malodour arising from carboxylic acids:         -   a. For each perfume raw material of interest:             -   i. Using the winMolconn program (version 1.1.2.1),                 compute the full complement of available molecular                 descriptors.             -   ii. From the output of winMolconn, extract values of the                 following molecular descriptors: dxvp9, knotpv, e1C2O2,                 idw, idcbar, and n2pag22. Note that these descriptor                 labels are case-sensitive.             -   iii. Using Equation 1, compute the MORV value by                 substituting the computed winMolconn descriptors values                 for the corresponding labels shown in the equation.
